This dramatizes very cleverly and simply, several related things... the issue that was big at the time, teen pregnancy (which in and of itself is always a really big issue for society and for those who experience it), the idea of having trouble finding your place in life (which is hard at various times in life, a big one being when one is a teenager), the idea of being hit with a very tough situation all of the sudden which results from simply wanting to having fun and induldge in experience and being somewhat burned by it, and the concept of going from being responsible for yourself (which can be hard enough) to having a child who will be dependant upon you. I think it is instictual to want to take care of something, it is built in. The experience is one of shock, followed by either a fight or flight. If you fight, I think you will win in the end because it will be the way you find your true character and true self.. when you 'eat for two'. If you've been there, then you know.......
